I have two types, bought from two different vendors.

The red + blue LED is a strip light, approximately 12" long and 2" wide. They are 11w units and their item number is LH-G111WWP. These are also water-proof units, the only practical water-proof units I could find. I wanted to hang them under the top shelf of a two-shelf unit, casting light on four trays of "baby" orchids. That's why I needed them to be water-proof. They are expensive lights! I purchased the four from LEDgrowlight-hydro.com. I don't remember what their lumen output is.

I also have two LED flood-type lights that simply screw into a socket. Their spectrum is white, not red/blue. They were purchased on Amazon and the name of them is Miracle LED 605038 Commercial Hydroponic Ultra Grow Lite. You could not use these in a wet enviornment. They each cost 1/10 of what the strip-lights cost, about $11.00 each. These are 5w bulbs and produce 500 lumens.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
